Hey there! I’m Piotr

… or Kosiare, pick what you think suits me better.

I’m a devops engineer with a love for Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes once more. I do various things and I am the middleman/missing link between developers and infrastructure.

This blog is my personal space to share thoughts, tutorials for starters, lessons learned from working as DevOps/SRE/PE and my coding projects. Expect posts on Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaaC, observability and other tools that keep modern services running, some homelab/self-hosting stuff will be included as well.

Furthermore I’m finally looking to do some real coding - If I code something I can (at least partially) be proud of, expect some insights here.

Tech stack

• OS - GNU/Linux (usually Debian based) + macOS
• Infrastructure as a Code - Terraform, Terragrunt and Pulumi
• Automation - Bash, Ansible, Python, Go
• CI/CD - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD
• Cloud Architecture / Operations - AWS, Azure (yes, I know it... no, I don't like it)
• Monitoring and observability - Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, ELK (welp, just like with Azure, we hate each other)
• Database administration - PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
• Containers - Docker and 💖Kubernetes💖
• Networking - Nginx and Traefik

Hobbies

• Longboard - I always wanted to learn downhill, carving long slides that leave only marks and sparks behind me. I do some cruising tho - but still struggling land an ollie…
• Astronomy - in theoretical way but maybe someday I’ll buy a telescope!
• Barista-hobbyist - I can make you a splendid cuppa coffee.
• Information Technology - duh, of course! Besides my professional skills, I enjoy learning about almost everything related to IT - from cybersecurity and hardware to software architecture. Also, I have a deep appreciation for Holy-C. 🙏
• Gaming - ⬆️⬆️ ⬇️⬇️ ⬅️➡️ ⬅️➡️ 🅱️🅰️ (if you know you know)
